Greeted by cheering youngsters, the DeKalb County High School Class of 2022 paid a call on Smithville Elementary and DeKalb West Schools for the Annual Senior Walk today (Thursday).
Administrators and staff at each school joined the younger students in welcoming the soon to be graduates upon their arrival by school bus. Many of the elementary kids, lined down the halls, greeted the seniors with signs, waves and high fives as the high school students passed by. Some seniors also got hugs from proud parents and former teachers.
The Senior Walk is an opportunity for high school students to return to the elementary campuses where they once attended school to stroll through the hallways in their caps and gowns while the Graduation Pomp and Circumstance (song) is played over the P.A. While we hope this will inspire our future graduates, we are excited about our seniors being able to see their elementary school teachers one last time before they graduate,” said DCHS Principal Bruce Curtis.
